From a gameplay approach. Is there a particular speed and power setting (afterburner perhaps) where the uncommanded pitch up is particularly pronounced? Are you loaded heavily or lightly with fuel/weapons?

HiobOP•10/23/24, 10:25 AM

Another side note regarding the special options for the F-4. You can set the FFB gain for pitch and roll above 100 (up to 500 iirc).

HiobOP•10/23/24, 10:42 AM

Just a random idea. There is a setting like "match controls at mission start" or something along those lines in the game options. What have you set there? Does it make a difference if you change it?

HiobOP•10/23/24, 2:08 PM

@EnvyC I totally missed that you only use FFB pedals. Has nothing to do with pitch problems then of course (assuming you haven't bound the pitch axis to the pedals

). Doesn't make much sense the to search in VP config for the culprit then..... maybe it is the combination of FFB on with a spring loaded stick that get's the F-4 confused. Rather unique to use FFB-pedals and no FFB stick......

Number481•10/23/24, 2:31 PM

There's no point having FFB enabled in DCS at all if you don't have a joystick. It doesn't support pedals so you aren't gaining anything by having it enabled. TelemFFB will provide the necessary effects regardless of the FFB setting in DCS.

Pretty sure there's a known issue with the F-4 when FFB is enabled but a non FFB joystick is being used. This Thread has several things going on in it (more with the FFBBeast software), but one of the original things was that the trim is all messed up when using a non FFB joystick with FFB enabled.

A known issue is the constant pitching up that comes when force feedback is active. solution is to switch it off. Problem is: I have the FFBeast and use force feedback.

Number481•10/23/24, 5:14 PM

nah.., that would be a waste of time.. did you try this step that fourgrinder pointed you to?

A relatively easy thing you can try is this: Rename your saved games/DCS folder to something like DCS.saveme. Then start DCS and let it create a new file structure. Then load TelemFFB and let it install the export script and modify the export lua. Restart DCS and load into an aircraft and see if the telemetry starts flowing or if you get the same error in the log. All your bindings will be gone since they are stored in DCS folder you renamed, but this is just a test and you can delete the new DCS folder and rename your old one back

HiobOP•10/23/24, 5:21 PM

Do you have any other programs that rely on the export.lua of DCS? Like a buttkicker or winwing peripherals?

Number481•10/23/24, 5:22 PM

Doesn't care.

After you changed the savegames folder name and let DCS create a new one, did you install any other mods or anything?

Remember you have to restart DCS after the first time you install the export script from TelemFFB. After it exists in export.lua, if TelemFFB were to update the export script in a future update, you only need to start a new flight for it to pick up the updated script.

Might help if you post a clean copy of the dcs log here when running with the clean save games folder.

Shut down DCS
delete the dcs.log in the logs folder.
Start TelemFFB
Start DCS
Start a flight

Then post the dcs.log file here

CoolHand•10/23/24, 6:25 PM

little confused, because there's clearly an export.lua in that folder

but does

C:\Users\steve\Saved Games\DCS.PUBLIC\Scripts/TelemFFB.lua

C:\Users\steve\Saved Games\DCS.PUBLIC\Scripts/TelemFFB.lua

exist?
The auto install for TelemFFB only looks for

DCS

DCS

and

DCS.openbeta

DCS.openbeta

. If you are running from a save games folder with a different name, you will need to manually place the export script (TelemFFB.lua) in the scripts folder.

There are two pieces.

The entry in export.lua that tells DCS to load the script

local telemffblfs=require('lfs');dofile(telemffblfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TelemFFB.lua')

local telemffblfs=require('lfs');dofile(telemffblfs.writedir()..'Scripts/TelemFFB.lua')

The telemetry script itself (TelemFFB.lua)

EnvyC•10/24/24, 12:52 AM

It might just be that bug outright, because I turned off FFB in DCS settings and the Phantom just straight up does not detect pedal input at all. I've tried the F/A18, F14, F5, 190A8/D9 and P47 so far and they all naturally detect the Rhino as a pedal.

Number481•10/24/24, 1:53 AM

That is strange indeed. If disable FFB globally in DCS, it still recognizes the pedals as a joystick device and they work fine in the phantom.

EnvyC•10/24/24, 1:58 AM

Sorry I phrased that poorly, I mean the Phantom doesn't recognise the Rhino input at all under any circumstance for me.

Turning on/off FFB settings just fixes the main pitching issue.

Just assembled ffb pedals and having motor voltage faults when moving the pedals. It turns the motor off then on. Does anyone have this experience and any trouble shooting ideas? I am sure it's something I did, but at a loss figuring it out.

You need to plug in two USB-connectors in the Rhino-Crosswinds. One for the toe-brakes and one for the actual FFB-board. But you can only bind the axis with the FFB-device. You MUST clear the rudder-axis of the original Crosswinds.

Yes, to remove the old cable you will have to cut it (or unsolder it). The new one with the small connector will fit through the gimbal.
